UNITED STATES JOSEPH R1. PALMENBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

STAND Foe LADIES FIGURES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,145, dated August 1,1865. i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH R. IALMEN- BERG, ot' New York, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improved Stand forLadies Dress-Frames and similar Articles; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

Figure I represents an elevation of my improved stand, and Fig. Il is atop view of the same.

The nature of my invention consists in an improvement of the stand forwhich Letters Patent were granted 4to me on the 7th day of February,1860, and whereby the manufacture of said stand is much facilitated,while at the same time greater strength and durability is obtained. A v

The wooden standard A, which may be made of metal tubing, but which Iprefer to make of wood, is made in several parts, having on its top acap, J, screwed on, which fastens theiigure or any other similar articleto the stand. The lower part, O, ofthe standard A is square, so as toform straight surfaces to receive the ends of the bent frames F, formingthe feet for the stand. These frames F are attached to the standard A bymeans of bolts a c, provided with nuts, passing through two `frames andthe standard, by which arrangement the twb u site each other, areconnected together by bars fw, and which said bars are again fastenedtogether at the point of their intersection by u means of a screw-bolt,'0.

By this arrangement and construction a strong and substantial stand isobtained, which can easily be taken apart and put together again, andwhich, when taken apart for transportation, will occupy only very littlespace, causing thereby a great saving in thc expense.

I do not claim, broadly, the construction of stands madein parts, but

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is`

The arrangement and construction ofastand for ladies iigures and similararticles, made in parts, in the manner described, and for the pur posesubstantially as set forth.

J. R. PALMENBERG.
